About
Just 30 minutes north of Miami, Fort Lauderdale enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year and over seven miles of beaches with soft white sands. It's also known as the "Venice of America," with about 165 miles of inland waterways and water taxis that take you to the beach, the theater, museums, bars, restaurants and more. Authentic Venetian gondolas glide along the New River for a romantic ride. Las Olas Boulevard, running through the center of the city from the Central Business District to Fort Lauderdale Beach, is a shopper's paradise. This area is home to countless high-end boutiques, international art galleries, trendy eateries and buzzing nightclubs. If you want a glimpse of the good life, drive through or take a boat tour passing Millionaire's Row, which houses megayachts and multi-million dollar mansions, some of which are the homes of big-name celebrities and famous billionaires.
